Embodiment approach ( 3

[0047] Embodiment (three): the construction of overexpression vector, refer to image 3 A;

[0048] (1) Construction of PZP211: UBI vector: The pTCK303 vector containing the Ubqutin promoter and the pZP211 empty vector were respectively digested with restriction enzymes Hind III and BamH I, and the target fragment was detected by electrophoresis and recovered. The cleaved Ubqutin promoter and the pZP211 empty vector fragment were ligated with T4 ligase, and the operation steps were carried out according to the instructions of T4DNA ligase produced by Fermentas Company. Then the ligation product was transformed into Escherichia coli DH5α competent cells, and cultured overnight on LB solid medium containing spectinomycin (50mg / L). White colonies were picked and cultured overnight in LB liquid medium containing spectinomycin (50mg / L). Plasmid DNA was extracted by alkaline method and identified by enzyme digestion.

Abstract

The invention discloses a maize DWF4 gene and an expression vector, application and a plant thereof. In a method for breeding a high-yield plant provided by the invention, DWF4 genes are introduced into a receptor plant for over-expression to obtain a transgenic crop with superior agronomic characters. Measurement of various indexes of the transgenic plant discovers that the transgenic plant grows vigorously, is obviously heightened and has enhanced photosynthesis, delayed aging of blades and increased grain weight compared with a non-transgenic plant. The improvement of the agronomic characters can be used for increasing yield and quality of the crop and has important economical value and social benefit.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a key gene for regulating the biosynthesis of brassinosteroid-maize DWF4 gene and its expression vector, application and plant, belonging to the field of molecular biology and biotechnology. Background technique [0002] Maize is not only the third largest food crop in the world, but also an important monocot model plant for basic and applied research. With the completion of the sequencing of the maize genome, the research on maize genetics, genomics and molecular biology has increasingly become a current hotspot. The genetic transformation technology of maize has become one of the core means in the field of maize research. The research on transgenic maize began in the early 1980s. From the first report of transgenic maize to the present for more than 20 years, the research on maize transformation receptors, transformation methods and selection of marker genes has developed rapidly. At present, a variety of excellent corn var...
